Ezekiel 1-2
Maori Bible
1 Na i te toru tekau o nga tau, i te wha o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, i ahau i roto i nga whakarau o te awa, o Kepara, na ka puare nga rangi, a ka kite ahau i nga putanga Atua.
2 I te rima o nga ra o te marama, ara i te rima o nga tau o to Kingi Iehoiakini whakaraunga,
3 Ka haere tika tonu mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ehekiera tohunga, tama a Puti, i te whenua o nga Karari, i te taha o te awa, o Kepara; a i runga te ringa o Ihowa i a ia i reira.
4 A ka titiro atu ahau, na, he tukauati e puta mai ana i te raki, he kapua nui, he ahi e hoki iho ana ki roto ki a ia ano, wheriko tonu i tetahi taha, a i waenganui, i rite ki te kara o te amipere, i waenganui ano i te ahi.
5 Na ka puta mai i waenganui o taua ahi ko te ahua o nga mea ora e wha. Ko to ratou ahua ano tenei; i rite ratou ki te tangata.
6 Na e wha nga mata o tetahi, o tetahi o ratou, e wha nga parirau o tetahi, o tetahi.
7 Ko o ratou waewae, he waewae tika tonu; ko te kapu ano o o ratou waewae rite tonu ki te kapu o te waewae o te kuao kua: wheriko tonu, rite tonu ki te kanapatanga o te parahi kua oti te oro.
8 He ringa tangata ano o ratou i raro i o ratou parirau, i o ratou taha e wha: na, ko ratou tokowha, ko o ratou mata, ko o ratou parirau, koia tenei;
9 He mea hono o ratou parirau tetahi ki tetahi; kihai ratou i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana; i haere tika tonu atu tetahi, tetahi.
10 Na, ko te ahua o o ratou mata, he mata tangata o ratou; he mata raiona o ratou tokowha i te taha ki matua; he mata kau o ratou tokowha i te taha ki maui; he mata ekara ano o ratou tokowha.
11 Na, ko o ratou mata, ko o ratou parirau he mea wehe a runga: ko o te mea kotahi e rua nga parirau e piri ana tetahi ki tetahi, e rua hei hipoki mo o ratou tinana.
12 I haere tika tonu atu hoki ratou tetahi, tetahi: ko te wahi hei haerenga atu mo te wairua, haere ana ratou ki reira: kihai ratou i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana.
13 Na, ko te rite o aua mea ora, ko to ratou ahua, koia ano kei te ngarahu ahi i te mea e ka ana, kei te ahua ano o te rama: i haereere taua ahi i roto i aua mea ora, mura tonu, i puta mai ano he uira i roto i te ahi.
14 Na ko te oma, ko te hokinga o aua mea ora, rite tonu te ahua ki to te hikonga uira.
15 Na i taku tirohanga ki nga mea ora, nana, ko tetahi wira i runga i te whenua, i te taha o nga mea ora, kotahi mo te mea kotahi o ona mata e wha.
16 Ko te ahua o nga wira, me to ratou mahinga, rite tonu te kara ki to te perira: rite tonu aua wira e wha; ko to ratou ahua, ko to ratou mahinga, me te mea he wira i roto i te wira.
17 I to ratou haerenga i haere i runga i o ratou taha e wha; kihai i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana.
18 Na, ko o ratou awhi, tiketike rawa, he hanga whakawehi, kapi tonu ano i te kanohi o ratou awhi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, o ratou e wha.
19 Na i te haerenga o nga mea ora i haere ano nga wira i to ratou taha; a ka ara nga mea ora i runga i te whenua, ka ara ano nga wira.
20 Ko te wahi hei haerenga atu mo te wairua, i haere ratou ki reira; ko reira hei haerenga mo te wairua; i ara ano nga wira ki runga i to ratou ritenga atu: no te mea i roto i nga wira te wairua o te mea ora.
21 I haere era, ka haere enei; i tu era, ka tu enei; a ka ara ake era i runga i te whenua, ka ara ano nga wira i to ratou ritenga atu; no te mea kei roto te wairua o te mea ora i nga wira.
22 Na i runga ake i te mahunga o te mea ora ko te ahua o te kikorangi, rite tonu te kara ki to te karaihe e wehingia ana, he mea hora atu i runga i o ratou mahunga i te taha ki runga.
23 Na, i raro i te kikorangi, ko o ratou parirau, torotika tonu, anga tonu mai tetahi ki tetahi: o te mea kotahi e rua hei hipoki i tetahi taha, o te mea kotahi ano e rua hei hipoki i tera taha o o ratou tinana.
24 A i a ratou e haere ana, i rongo ahau i te haruru o o ratou parirau me te mea ko te haruru o nga wai maha, me te mea ano ko te reo o te Kaha Rawa, he reo e turituri ana, ano he nge no tetahi ope: i nga wa i tu ai ratou i tukua iho o ratou parira u.
25 I puta iho ano he reo i te kikorangi i runga i o ratou mahunga; i te mea ka tu ratou, ka tukua iho o ratou parirau.
26 Na, i runga i te kikorangi i runga ake i o ratou mahunga ko te ahua o tetahi torona, he mea rite ki te kohatu hapaira: a i runga i te ahua o te torona ko tetahi ahua e rite ana ki to te tangata i runga i taua torona, i te taha ki runga.
27 I kite atu ano ahau me te mea no te amipere te kara, he mea rite ki te ahua o te ahi i roto a taka noa, taka noa, i te ahua o tona hope, a haere whakarunga, i te ahua ano o tona hope, a haere whakararo, i kite atu ahau me te mea ko te ahua o te ahi, a wheriko tonu te marama i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ona.
28 Rite tonu ki te ahua o te kopere i te kapua i te ra ua te ahua o te wherikotanga a taka noa. Ko te ahua tena, ko te ritenga o te kororia o Ihowa. No toku kitenga, tapapa ana ahau ki raro; na, ka rongo ahau i te reo o tetahi e korero ana.
2 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e tu ou waewae ki runga, a ka korero ahau ki a koe.
2 Na kua tae mai te wairua ki roto ki ahau i tana korerotanga ki ahau, i tana meatanga kia tu oku waewae ki runga; a ka rongo ahau i a ia e korero ana ki ahau.
3 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka unga koe e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki nga iwi whakakeke, kua whakakeke nei ki ahau; ko ratou ko o ratou matua kua tutu ki ahau a taea noatia tenei ra nei ano.
4 A ko nga tamariki he whakatoi, he kaki maro; na ka unga koe e ahau ki a ratou, a me ki atu e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa.
5 Na ko ratou, ma ratou e rongo, ma ratou e kore e rongo, he whare whakakeke hoki ratou, ka mohio, na i roto i a ratou te poropiti e noho ana.
6 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kaua e wehi i a ratou, kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, ahakoa he tataramoa, he tumatakuru i tou taha, a e noho ana koe i roto i nga kopiona; kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro mai ratou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.
7 Me korero ano e koe aku kupu ki a ratou, ma ratou e whakarongo, ma ratou ranei e kore e whakarongo: nui atu hoki to ratou whakakeke.
8 Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, whakarongo ki taku e mea nei ki a koe; Kaua koe e whakakeke, kei rite ki taua whare whakakeke: hamama tou mangai, kainga hoki te mea ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe.
9 Na, i taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi ringa e totoro mai ana ki ahau; nana, ko tetahi pukapuka i roto i te ringa;
10 Na wherahia ana e ia taua pukapuka ki toku aroaro, he mea tuhituhi a roto, a waho: ko te mea i tuhituhia ki reira he tangi, he uhunga, he aue.

Ezekiel’s Inaugural Vision
1 In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles(A) by the Kebar River,(B) the heavens were opened(C) and I saw visions(D) of God.
2 On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin(E)— 3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel(F) the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians.[a] There the hand of the Lord was on him.(G)
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm(H) coming out of the north(I)—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal,(J) 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.(K) In appearance their form was human,(L) 6 but each of them had four faces(M) and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.(N) 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands.(O) All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.(P)
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.(Q) 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings(R) spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.(S) 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals(T) of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning(U) flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.(V)
15 As I looked at the living creatures,(W) I saw a wheel(X) on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz,(Y) and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction(Z) as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes(AA) all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go,(AB) and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.(AC)
22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault,(AD) sparkling like crystal, and awesome. 23 Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing(AE) waters, like the voice(AF) of the Almighty,[b] like the tumult of an army.(AG) When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne(AH) of lapis lazuli,(AI) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.(AJ) 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.(AK) 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow(AL) in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.(AM)
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory(AN) of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown,(AO) and I heard the voice of one speaking.
Ezekiel’s Call to Be a Prophet
2 He said to me, “Son of man,[c](AP) stand(AQ) up on your feet and I will speak to you.(AR)” 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me(AS) to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3 He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.(AT) 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn.(AU) Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(AV) 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen(AW)—for they are a rebellious people(AX)—they will know that a prophet has been among them.(AY) 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid(AZ) of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns(BA) are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.(BB) 7 You must speak(BC) my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.(BD) 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel(BE) like that rebellious people;(BF) open your mouth and eat(BG) what I give you.”
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand(BH) stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,(BI) 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.(BJ)

Maori Bible
Hebrews 11:1-19
Maori Bible
11 Na, ko te whakapono, he whakapumautanga i nga mea e tumanakohia atu ana, he whakakitenga i nga mea kahore nei e kitea.
2 Na konei hoki nga kaumatua i korerotia paitia ai.
3 Na te whakapono i matau ai tatou he mea hanga nga ao e te kupu a te Atua, a, ko nga mea e tirohia atu nei kihai i puta ake i roto i nga mea e kitea ana.
4 Na te whakapono i pai ake ai i ta Kaina te patunga tapu i tapaea e Apera ki te Atua, na tena hoki i whakaatu tona tika, i whakaatu hoki te Atua mo ana whakahere; na tena ano ia i whai kupu ai, ahakoa mate.
5 Na te whakapono a Enoka i kawea ketia ai, te kite i te mate; na kahore ia i kitea, no te mea kua kawea ketia ia e te Atua; i mua atu hoki i tona kawenga ketanga i whakaaturia mai ia, e ahuareka ana te Atua ki a ia.
6 Ki te kahore hoki he whakapono, e kore e taea he mea e ahuareka mai ai ia: ki te haere hoki tetahi ki te Atua, me whakapono ko ia ano tenei ko te Atua, e homai ana e ia he utu ki te hunga e ata rapu ana i a ia.
7 Na te whakapono a Noa, i tona whakamaharatanga e te Atua ki nga mea kahore i kitea noatia, i oho ai, he wehi ki te Atua, a hanga ana e ia te aaka hei whakaora mo tona whare; he whakataunga tena nana i te he ki te ao, a uru ana ki te tika o te wha kapono.
8 Na te whakapono a Aperahama i ngohengohe ai, i tona karangatanga kia haere ki te wahi meake riro i a ia hei kainga; a haere ana ia, te matau ki te wahi e haere ai ia.
9 Na te whakapono ia i noho manene ai ki te whenua i whakaaria mai, he whenua tangata ke ano ki a ia, a noho teneti ana ia, ratou ko Ihaka, ko Hakopa, ona hoa kua uru tahi nei ratou ki taua mea i whakaaria mai ra:
10 I tatari hoki ia ki te pa whai turanga, ko te Atua nei te kaihanga, te kaimahi.
11 Me Hera ano hoki, na te whakapono ia i whai kaha ai, i hapu ai, a whanau ana tana tama i te mea kua taka ke ona tau; i mahara hoki ia he pono ta te kaiwhakaari mai.
12 Na, whanau ake i te kotahi, he tangata ano hoki ia kua whakatupapakutia ki enei mea, me te mea ko nga whetu o te rangi te tini, koia ano kei te onepu i te taha o te moana e kore nei e taea te tatau.
13 I mate katoa enei i runga i te whakapono, kihai i whiwhi ki nga mea i whakaaria mai ra, engari he mea kite atu na ratou i tawhiti, a whakaponohia atu ana e ratou, awhitia atu ana, whakaae ana ratou he manene ratou, he noho noa iho i runga i te w henua.
14 Ko te hunga hoki he penei a ratou korero, e whakakite pu ana ratou he whenua tupu ta ratou e rapu nei.
15 Me i mahara hoki ratou ki taua kainga i haere mai nei ratou i reira, penei kua atea he hokinga atu mo ratou:
16 Tena ko tenei e hiahia ana ratou ki tetahi kainga pai ake, ki tera i te rangi: koia te Atua te whakama ai ki a ratou, kia kiia ko to ratou Atua; kua rite hoki i a ia tetahi pa mo ratou.
17 Na te whakapono a Aperahama i tapae ai i a Ihaka, i tona whakamatautauranga; ae ra, ko te tangata i a ia nei nga kupu whakaari, tapaea ana e ia tana huatahi,
18 Mona nei te kupu, Kei a Ihaka he huanga mo tau whanau:
19 I whakaaro hoki ia, ahakoa i roto nei ano i te hunga mate, e taea ia e te Atua te whakaara ake; a riro mai ana ia i reira, he mea whakaahua.

Faith in Action
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for(A) and assurance about what we do not see.(B) 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.(C)
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,(D) so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended(E) as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings.(F) And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.(G)
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a](H) For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him(I) must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen,(J) in holy fear built an ark(K) to save his family.(L) By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.(M)
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,(N) obeyed and went,(O) even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land(P) like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,(Q) as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.(R) 10 For he was looking forward to the city(S) with foundations,(T) whose architect and builder is God.(U) 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,(V) was enabled to bear children(W) because she[b] considered him faithful(X) who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,(Y) came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.(Z)
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;(AA) they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,(AB) admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.(AC) 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(AD) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(AE) Therefore God is not ashamed(AF) to be called their God,(AG) for he has prepared a city(AH) for them.
17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.(AI) He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[c](AJ) 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead,(AK) and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
